Features

Quiet Operation at .25" Water Gauge WhisperCeiling fans feature a totally enclosed condenser motor and a double-tapered, dolphin shaped bladed blower wheel to quietly move air. Since .1" w.g. is an unrealistic amount of static pressure when installed, our fans have been rated at .25" w.g., the industry standard for performance measurement for ASHRAE, ENERGY STAR, LEED for Homes, and HVI. Panasonic leads the way with incomparable sone levels at both .1" and .25" w.g.

Continuous, Trouble-free Operation for Many Years This fan is designed to give you continuous, trouble-free operation for many years thanks in part to its high-quality components and permanently lubricated motors which wear at a slower pace. Also, since heat is always detrimental to motor life (the cooler the environment, the longer the motor will last), we designed the electrical configuration of this model's condenser motor to allow it to operate at lower temperatures, increasing the life of the motor and bearings. And, the fan housing is made of heavy-gauge zinc galvanized steel and painted to protect it from rust.

User-Friendly Installation Detachable adapters, firmly secured duct ends, adjustable mounting brackets (up to 26"), fan/motor units that detach easily from the housing and uncomplicated wiring all lend themselves to user-friendly installation. This model also features a double-hanger bar system for ideal positioning.

Energy Star Qualified for Energy Savings Energy Star qualified products feature super-quiet operation and high CFM-to-Watt efficiency. The Energy Star program was created to help consumers identify products that can save them money and protect the environment by saving energy. As an Energy Star partner, all our fans are Energy Star qualified and labeled accordingly.

Tired of Cold Air Coming Through Your Ventilation Fan? This Panasonic fan has a built-in damper to prevent backdraft, which helps to prevent outside air from coming through the fan. Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly over the fan housing to prevent heat from escaping.

Rated 4 out of 5 by JP 10 second delay
Panasonic does not tell anyone there is a 10 second delay before this fan starts. They don't tell you there is no bypass for this delay. When you have it installed or do it yourself, you think you must have wired it wrong. If you don't use the two additional features, i.e. night light and motion detector, cap the two red wires off separately and wire white to white and black to black. I had to have an electrician come out, and the only way he discovered the fan could work is to leave it on long enough for the delay to pass.
NOT telling consumers about these steps in the instructions or online is unacceptable.

Once installed its a great fan, but I too did a retrofit in the attic and its not at all clear in the instructions. Took a long time to install, but once there it is a great unit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jrock Great Fan!!
I bought this fan to exhaust "smoke" from my bathroom in the Winter. I bought this one, which is way overkill for the size of my bathroom, to make sure it was quick and efficient. It exceeds my expectations. This fan is extremely quiet and will leave NO fog on my mirror after a very hot shower.I also bought the decoritive cover for it and I am very pleased with the way it looks. I plan on buying a smaller version for my other bathroom. It was very dificult to install, the directions were not very clear for a "retro" type install. It took me a very long time because I was in a very small space in the attic and I was "retro" fitting and did not want to cut more drywall than I needed to so I didnt have to do more repairs. I didnt have to do electrical work because I already had a circuit from a previous light in the area before my remodel.
